Well I did it. I ran the Brighton Marathon in a time of 6 hours and 28 minutes and 6 seconds.
I am NEVER doing it again.
I will however possibly probably mention it again.
I'm 54 years of age. I'm bloody proud of myself.
The last time I ran was when I was in school. I left school in 1987.
I started with the couch to 5k on October 10th 2025 on World Mental Health Day. I completed my first 5k 4 weeks later at a parkrun in Monmouth, I'll be back there this Saturday.
At 1 min and 3 sec you'll see me come into view and then cross the line and keep on running because I didn't realise I'd actually finished..
I hit my fundraising target and a big thank you to everyone who donated to Bowel Research UK.
Congratulations and well done!! You saying you are NEVER doing it again did make me chuckle but if I was you I would be mentioning it in every conversation! You have every right to be proud of yourself!
ReplyDeleteHuge, huge congratulations. I knew you'd make it! Well done on raising so much money too. Super proud of you x
ReplyDeleteI honestly thought you had been a runner for years! You are so disciplined and dedicated.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you feel proud of yourself, what a fantastic achievement.
That’s brilliant Suzanne, a huge well done to you. You should definitely be proud of yourself for that – going from starting couch to 5k last October to doing a marathon now is a huge achievement. Well done on hitting your fundraising target too. #WotW
ReplyDeleteThis is SO amazing Suzanne! Well done and I would probably mention it to everyone and everyone I see. I would possibly even consider becoming a running influencer 🤣🤣🤣🤣
